Zakaria Kahttab is hands down the best tour guide you could ask for in Egypt. He’s incredibly personable, highly educated, and carries himself with such sophistication. It’s clear he’s respected not only by his clients but also by fellow guides, which I noticed firsthand during our tour. Zakaria’s attention to detail, patience, and great sense of humor make the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again—he’s my go-to guide every time!

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, providing detailed explanations of the history and answering all our questions thoroughly. He also handled the schedule expertly, adjusting it seamlessly to accommodate delays caused by traffic during our transit to Memphis.

The guide was knowledgeable and well-informed, but unfortunately, she was unable to join us during some parts of the tour due to a backache she had been dealing with for a few days. Additionally, she took us to a place she claimed offered "good prices," which turned out to be a tourist trap with extremely high costs, seemingly aimed at earning her a commission. This was disappointing and overshadowed the experience. On the positive side, the driver was excellent—highly professional and a standout part of the tour.

The trip was excellent, and the program was tailored perfectly to our preferences. From the very beginning, the guide took the time to ask about our needs and interests. He gave us the option of camel riding or exploring the pyramids, and when we chose not to ride camels, he respected our decision without any pressure, which we truly appreciated. It was a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and we would highly recommend this tour!

Without a doubt, one of the most awe-inspiring wonders of the world is Egypt’s Pyramids, and our visit was made even more remarkable thanks to Michael. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, with Michael mentioning our names before we even got started, which made us feel incredibly special. This friendly and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a fantastic day! Michael was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, flexible (which we truly appreciated), and even skilled at taking great photos! Touring the Pyramids of Giza and Saqqara was an unforgettable experience, and Michael’s warm personality and dedication made it even more memorable. He’s highly motivated and an excellent example of what a top-tier guide should be. The entire tour felt comfortable and special, like being at home away from home. A big shoutout also goes to our driver, Hassan, whose skillful driving and helpfulness added to the smoothness of our journey. Thank you once again for an incredible day! I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Farouk to anyone looking for a truly outstanding guide.

We had an excellent guide in Ahmed Bekhary! He made sure we saw all the highlights and explained everything thoroughly, providing a rich and informative experience. One of the highlights was the panoramic view of the entire Giza Necropolis, which we got for a reasonable price. However, the lunch add-on at around $15 per person felt overpriced, especially as it was at a standard tourist restaurant. I’d recommend skipping this option and opting for a local restaurant of your choice, where a meal for four people can cost less than $10 and offer a more authentic experience. Overall, a fantastic tour, and Ahmed's guidance was top-notch!
Helpful? Yes
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this tour. The price is quite high, covering only the guide and transportation, while tickets, lunch, and activities are extra. The guide frequently directed us to overpriced tourist spots, seemingly for personal gain, and insisted on dining at a tourist restaurant with a $15 set menu, despite our clear preference for a more affordable local option. He also misled us, claiming the 9 Pyramids Viewpoint was only accessible by camel, though it was easily reachable on foot. Considering the cost, this tour lacks value and transparency, and a self-organized trip would offer better flexibility at a fraction of the price.
Helpful? Yes
Hands down, the best tour of my life! Our guide, Mostafa Mahdy, was incredible—his flawless English and deep knowledge of everything Egyptian made the experience unforgettable. He answered all my questions with patience, and I learned so much. The lunch (add-on) was a delicious buffet, and the camel ride (add-on) was an absolute must! It included an amazing photo shoot with stunning pyramid views. Don’t hesitate—book this tour immediately! Simply amazing all around!

Our tour guide, Bossi, was absolutely spectacular! As a former archaeologist, her depth of knowledge about history and fascinating facts was unmatched. She made sure the tour was tailored to our needs, never rushed us, and even helped us capture great pictures. Unlike some tours, there was no pressure to visit shops, but if you wanted to, she provided excellent recommendations. We were especially touched by her kindness when she overheard us struggling with a lost luggage issue. She advocated on our behalf and managed to get the airport driver to deliver our luggage the same day, going far beyond her role as a guide. After the tour, she even checked in to ensure everything was resolved. Her thoughtful gestures and exceptional service truly made this the best experience possible. The driver was equally fantastic, always punctual and efficient in getting us to our destinations. We wholeheartedly recommend booking with this company, and if you can, ask for Bossi—she’ll go above and beyond to make your trip unforgettable!

We opted for the package that included lunch, pyramid entrance, and a camel ride, and everything went perfectly from start to finish. A special thanks to Hany for making the experience so seamless and memorable. The tour offered great value for money—it's definitely worth spending a little more to ensure this level of quality and avoid any potential scams or unpleasant surprises. Highly recommended!

Sherif was an excellent German-speaking tour guide! The pick-up was smooth, and he shared a wealth of fascinating information about the pyramids and the history of Egypt. He answered all our questions with great expertise, making the experience highly informative. However, the extras (camel ride, lunch) were overpriced, so we chose not to book them. There was an unplanned visit to a perfume shop, but thankfully, there was no pressure to buy anything, so it didn’t detract much from the experience. Overall, a good tour with an outstanding guide!
